Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description Deblended FIR fluxes for LOFAR optical counterparts and their far infrared radio correlation 
Organisation LOFAR
Country Netherlands 
Sector Academic/University 
PI Contribution I have added deblended far infrared fluxes to the optical counterparts of the LOTSS deep fields. This has been done using the software XID+, developed at Sussex University as part of the Hercshel Extragalatic Legacy Project. I have also measured the far infrared radio correlation using this deep data at 150MHz. I was also part of the team that did the crossmatching between the radio and optical catalogues
Collaborator Contribution The LOTSS survey team have provided the radio images and catalogues and well as new optical catalogues in the deep fields. They have also provided the crossmatching between the radio and optical catalogues.
Impact As of writing this there have been no public outcomes. But the aim is to have done a public release of all the deep fields data within the next few months and to have a special issue in Astronomy and Astrophysics and the same time.
